Hollywood’s just another industry getting commodified by tech bros now. The magic is getting sucked out and replaced with algorithms. Depressing but unsurprising.

The only question is what they actually bought, a real workflow tool that helps filmmakers, or a cost cutting machine.
If it makes post production faster without killing jobs and quality, fine. If it is just to replace people, that is going to get ugly fast.

Gotta spend that multi billion payout they just got on something I guess

>According to Affleck, the InterPositive system builds an AI model based on an existing production’s dailies, then lets a filmmaker introduce that model into the postproduction process to provide the ability to do things like mix and color, relight shots, and add visual effects.
I wonder how good or shit this will be.

This sounds absolutely fucking awful.

This is one of those cases where the AI tool is actually really useful for film makers and not taking jobs. It’s basically a continuity tracker that lets you know if two shots don’t match up right or you’re missing a shot. It should keep budgets down, and generally help everyone on set
I hate everything AI is doing to the world, but can admit there are many good use cases. This is one of them.

Wasn’t he on Rogan last week basically slating AI and saying it’s being hyped by the tech companies involved so they can get investment when it’s really not worth it?

Just for everyone reflexively assuming this is a vile injection of AI into an artistic process (and I share the concern), this tool actually sounds like a useful way for a filmmaker to catch continuity errors and other problems in their editing process. It’s not a tool for generating a movie with AI. It’s more like spellcheck for filmmakers. I’m generally okay with this idea.

This is where that money they got from Paramount is going?
Fancy continuity checker. Ok, that actually sounds useful.

Well they are getting/got a free $2.8bn from Paramount. Seems like a good investment from what I know about this project using free money

Let’s see those who only read the title of the article post their responses.
It should be amusing.

You couldn’t pay me to believe that this is going to help filmmakers or lower the barrier of entry for filmmaking. This is just going to result in slightly quicker turn around for post production and generally speaking is not going to do anything meaningful because good continuity is not going to save a bad film

This sounds fine. But, like, the script supervisor / continuity person has been doing this job forever. Surely at $600M you could just save some money and hire the best of them?

Waste of money
Shame him for this planet-destroying AI bad idea.
